Overview

The Xotic BB Preamp is one of the most respected boutique overdrive/preamp pedals on the market — prized for its rich harmonic content, smooth compression, and amp-like response. Known for combining the feel of a vintage tube preamp with modern clarity, the BB Preamp can move seamlessly from warm, transparent overdrive to saturated distortion while maintaining incredible note definition.

This pedal is especially loved for its active 2-band EQ, which lets you shape your mids, tighten the low end, or add presence without ever sounding harsh. Whether you're boosting an already broken-up amp, adding grit to a clean channel, or using it as an “always on” tone enhancer, the BB Preamp is versatile, musical, and extremely responsive to your picking dynamics.
